Konopelko Takes One on the River, Then Spikes a Boat
Andrei Konopelko bet 1,600 from under the gun on a flop of 10?9?3? and Skyler Roberts called in early position. Brandy Savage then raised to 3,500 in the small blind and both opponents called.
All three players checked the 4? turn before Konopelko bet 6,500 on the 7? river. Roberts quickly folded, but Savage gave it some thought before also folding after around a minute.
"I would've called in your spot, but not with you behind me," Roberts told Savage.
The next hand, Roberts raised to 600 under the gun before Jeffrey Muncy three-bet to 2,600 in early position. Erick Lindgren called in middle position, as did Konopelko in the big blind and Roberts.
The flop came 4?4?5? and Muncy bet 3,500. Lindgren and Konopelko both called. The 8? turn was checked through and Konopelko bet 12,500 on the 5? river.
Muncy called and Lindgren folded, claiming he had two jacks. Konopelko showed 8?8? for a full house and Muncy tossed Q?Q? into the muck.
